Over the last seven years, we have been carrying out a comprehensive regeneration strategy for a 60ha site that will become the Port of Santander’s new seafront. We also carried out full SMEP and fire engineering services for the Elite Sailing Training Centre. The roof is being used as a public space, from which Regattas can be viewed during the world championship event, with a pedestrian access ramp from ground level. “For Santander city council´s management team, the reorganization of the seafront represents an opportunity to boost one of the most valuable areas of the region.” — Íñigo de la Serna, Mayor of Santander Our office in Madrid put together a team of over 25 professionals, including architects, engineers, lawyers, economists, real estate specialists, landscapers and sociologists. Through coordinating both public and private initiatives, this waterfront regeneration has created a unique model capable of meeting the requirements of different users, combining the port’s activities with the leisure aspects of the Santander bay.
